Roasted Garlic and Parmesan Dip


I know that some people don't like the taste of raw garlic but who can resist the sweet taste of roasted garlic. Roasted garlic with a drizzle of olive oil and a touch of salt and pepper are quite tasty and extremely healthy. Combining them with lemon juice and Parmesan cheese would make a heavenly dip. Without the roasting time, the preparation time wouldn't take more than 5 min.
